jang ta bal korean charcoal bbq

opted for jang ta bal over our usual korean bbq joint tonight (jo ja ryong). staff are super friendly here, full of smiles. they even offered to get new side dishes for us before we could ask for refills which is a big tick in my books--i generally feel bad disturbing the waitstaff to ask for free refills but here they happily do it for you!

they have two seating styles in the restaurant. we weren't offered a choice but would've loved to try the traditional seating! looks like fun.

we ordered the wagyu marbled beef, ox tongue and pork belly. we also got the egg soup.

the meats look like not much at all but once you cook it up, it really fills you up! the wagyu was so nice and soft and melt-in-your-mouth and all those heavenly things. my favourite was the ox tongue: thought the flavour was just on point.

egg soup was disappointing for me though. a long wait for an egg hot pot that wasn't very flavoursome at all. perhaps i'm too used to egg pots with more seasoning? i just felt like this was just steamed egg with nothing added and it felt really bland.

overall, a great experience!

jang ta bal located amongst all the korean bbq places in strathfield is an absolute stand out for me.

they provided some fantastic little side dishes and sauces which are a hit. especially the kimchi 🤤 fresh crispy lettuce to wrap your delicious meat in is also a winner with me.

the pork belly marinated in very spicy sauce was one of my favourite dishes. i loved it so much i was a little piggy and had to get a second serve.
all the meat is outstanding quality and fresh.

i can honestly say this is one of the best korean bbq i’ve had so far! it’s a little costly but trust me if you are about quality and taste, it’s really worth it. this restaurant has put me off any all you can eat korean bbq, i would rather spend a little extra and have a fantastic night with some amazing food.

where’s your go to korean bbq spots?

this korean bbq restaurant is got to be my all time and go to kbbq!!!! they serve up the most quality fresh meat including all beef, pork and chicken; as well as marinated!!! i would say their marinated meat is marinated to perfection! their kimchi pancake is something you would also want to order along with eating bbq meat!

they serve traditional korean bbq here service is average depending on how busy it is. the biggest difference with this joint is that the have a korean bbq set up at the back of the front part of the restaurant. food isn't too pricey but korean bbq is never that cheap.

one of the best korean bbq, it has indoors and outdoors seating at the back in, their meat is very high quality. i recommend getting the premium wagyu set, the marbling is just beautiful! the side dishes are unlimited and it's all very nice. service is good, they give u what u need, however...

i seriously love this place. been here 3 times now and it never fails to disappoint. the meats are pretty pricey but be prepared to be indulged with high quality meat that tastes amazing, (my favourite is the marbled beef). side dishes are reasonable and the staff are very helpful. get ready to line up, this place is always busy, so it's best to book a table when you have a large group of people. only one disappointing thing about this place is its kim chi, it wasn't that chilli and flavoursome.

when i first walked in, they seated me at a table that was already set up with the side dishes and a warm charcoal centre (which was all the more pleasant on a cold winter day) - that was well done and impressive but i wasn’t overly pleased with the spicy chicken dish i ordered. there was barely any chicken in it, it was mostly onion! the mixed beef plate was ok but i’d probably pick my own meats next time.
although the food and service was decent, i still found this place overpriced.

have been staying in strathfield for clise to 8 years. as you would know, strathfield has faar too many korean joints. jang ta bal is my favourite korean bbq. the spicy chicken, soy chicken are my favourites. usually end up having these on bbq along with a few sojus. the environment is live vibrant and noisy. you can sit on the traditional korean style low rise sitting tables or you could end up getting the regular ones. on different occasions i have had the fried rice and a few other things on their menu. but my personal favs is the spicu chicken bbq. highly recommended. cheers

needless to say, jtb is one of the most popular korean bbq restaurants in sydney. they not only serve deliciously marinated meat which is freshly sliced for your bbq, but also provides you with an amazing atmosphere for your friday/saturday nights (if you’re down for a bottle of soju or 5 😜). take note that on the weekends it will be an over 45 minute wait and there is no reservation!

an amazing experience with my mum and brother - the staff was incredibly friendly and generous, they were polite, helpful and very kind! the food was delicious - a warning that you will definitely be spending over $100 for a full and yummy meal but it’s all seriously worth it. it’s worth the rave - try it and you’ll love it!

been wanting to try out this place for the longest time because of all the positive reviews and heard so many good things about it, so i’m happy i finally got to visit!

first time we came, we arrived at 6pm and there was a 1-2hr wait due to peak dinner time. so we decided to have an early dinner at 4:30pm to avoid the crowd. it was pretty empty inside which was great as it wasn’t too noisy.

we ordered the wagyu set, pork belly, seafood pancake and cold noodles. the meat quality was amazing, it was so tender and melted in our mouths! the seafood pancake was also super crispy, and the cold noodles with the freshly cooked meat made the perfect combo. also loved the side dishes that came with everything – especially the mashed potato.

the staff were attentive and served our food promptly after ordering. there was also a spray outside the restaurant when you walk out so you won’t smell like bbq. would definitely come back again!

the environment is great. extremely clean grill. the quality of the meat is high, fresh and tasty. they offered a lot of side dishes which is nice too.
with an average of $40, and average waiting time of 60mins.

visited 16nov19:
the whole area near this place is all korean cuisine. this restaurant is one of most popular place for authentic kerean dishes.
very crowded and pretty noisy at 11pm.

soon whole table were full of dishes and staff were attentive.
complimentary awesome egg soup came with kimchi too😀
all meat was fresh marinated and tasty.
korean plum wine was very strong and a little sweetness compared to japanese one.

surely we all enjoyed the food and atmosphere.
difinitely dine in again when we visit sydney.

terrible service. staff brought out water and sides but no cups or chopsticks. they placed heated coals on the stove but no grill and then took 20 minutes to come take our order despite pressing the call button three times. they also just didn’t bring the bowl of rice that was ordered at all. in terms of food the beef was good but the fresh squid and seafood pancake average. won’t be coming back.

can't imagine i could ate this steel wool from the meat, food quality is getting downward but price have been increased a little bit. i won't be back anymore.
